Everyday Witch Tarot
I really enjoy working with the Everyday Witch Tarot for many reasons. It reminds me, in part, of the initial Harry Potter books/films – lighter in tone yet still having important messages to deliver. This deck is the same in several ways. At first glance it may appear to be just a light and playful deck, and that it is, but it’s also much more than that. It’s an easy to read and approachable deck that helps you get to the heart of the matter in a non-threatening way. And, as alluded to in the opening, it’s a great story telling deck. That, for me, is important. More importantly though,…

The Ink Witch Tarot
The Ink Witch Tarot is an eclectic deck that draws inspiration from the Rider Waite Smith tarot, Greek, Egyptian and Norse Mythology, Arthurian legends, European folk stories and fairy tales, and the magic to be found in every day life and experiences. It combines all of these ideas, yet it feels like a coherent, well thought out, modern deck that manages to add new viewpoints and ideas whilst still honouring tarot traditions. The Ink Witch Tarot Deck I love the ink and watercolour artwork and the clever use of warm and cool grey tones. For a long time this has been one of my favourite colour palettes. It definitely contributed…

The Rose Oracle
I saw The Grandmothers card on You Tube and, quite unexpectedly, it connected me with an aspect of myself I had buried. It’s The Rose Oracle that urged me to connect with the Divine Feminine. Prior to reading the companion book I had no idea why. The second verse of the Rose Oracle Attunement, that comes printed both on a card and within the guidebook, explains the intention behind The Rose Oracle and helped me recognise why it called to me so strongly. It aligns with my personal intention. ‘May it be a gateway for all to return to ourselves, the Earth, and each other. May our connection with the…

Tarot and Astrology by Corrine Kenner
Whether you’re an astrologer wanting to branch into tarot or a tarot reader wanting to deepen your understanding of the cards by incorporating astrological associations into your interpretations, then Tarot and Astrology may be what you’re looking for. If you’re after the basics then the included tables can serve you well but in order to get the most from this book you will have to be willing to work your way through it. Before reading Tarot and Astrology my astrology knowledge was limited. I knew which star sign or planet linked to each Major Arcana and a little about what that meant. I also had a vague understanding of the…

Sun and Moon Tarot
The Sun and Moon Tarot is a Thoth inspired deck that seamlessly incorporates aspects of Judaic mysticism, Jungian archetypes, astrology and mythology. By intertwining ancient cultural symbolism from several systems with contemporary artwork, this deck is bound to appeal to those seeking cards with a modern feel that don’t stray too far from traditional tarot. The Sun and Moon Tarot Deck I wasn’t sure how I’d find the faceless people on these cards. But, as crazy as it might seem, I find them full of expression. Maybe it’s because, rather than seeing somebody else’s interpretation, I can see the facial expressions that I feel fit with the setting and what…

Radiant Wisdom Tarot
The Radiant Wisdom Tarot was my first foray into indie decks and it holds a special place in my heart because my children bought it for me. In the “About the Author” section it says ‘She enjoys transforming the mysterious into the obvious and Tarot is one of her favourite tools for doing this.’ Therefore it came as no surprise to me that I was drawn to this deck. We share the same intention and the Radiant Wisdom Tarot serves this purpose well. It’s a clear and uplifting deck that presents simple, accessible imagery that feels user-friendly and non-threatening without compromising the power or scope of the messages available. The…

The Wandering Moon Tarot
I first saw this minimalistic black and white deck whilst watching Scorched Earth Tarot on YouTube. Having seen only a few cards, I paused the video and went in search of it. I was pleasantly surprised to discover it was an Indie deck designed by an Australian and shipped from Australia. Often times, living in Australia means the shipping on Indie decks is nearly as much, if not more in some cases, as the deck itself. Not in the case of The Wandering Moon Tarot. Yay!!! The Wandering Moon Tarot Deck This original deck is designed to be read intuitively. The creator wants you to position yourself in the card.…
